our week in Salvador
... but something had not agreed with me during the night, as I had got up five times in pain. I hate Brazilian toilets. Nevertheless, Salvador has been interesting. I don’t think we’ll experience a similar place to this in the next 6 months; ...
Salvador, Brazil
Hey guys! Sorry I haven?t written since Brazil. Brazil was amazing. The morning we arrived in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil we all got up at 5 AM to see the sunrise as we came into port which was beautiful and it was really cool seeing the city as we came ...

Salvador de Bahia
So... Monday night I arrived in Salvador de Bahia, 2 flight hours north of Rio! I`m staying in a nice little Hippie Hostel in the historical centre, with hammots on the terrace, a dog and some cats ;-) It is much hotter and humid here than it was in ...
Brazil
Brazil was really interesting. We docked in Salvador. The city has two parts, a lower city and an upper city. There is a huge elevator that takes you from one city to the other, and it's their only big attraction. It was kind of a sketchy area, the ...

language is a funny thing
... an extra week, to get a little better grasp on words like bread and pull in hopes that it will seriously aid my future travels. And Salvador seems to show me something new every day, so an extra week here will hopefully be worth it. Tonight I am going to ...
Festivão de Iemanjá
Today was a long and hot day filled with a little bit of schooling and a lot of fetival-ing! After an hour and a half of Portuguese to start the day, everyone from the school travelled the ten minutes down the road to Rio Vermelho, where just a week ago ...

Salvador
So, Salvador, our second stop in Brazil was relatively disappointing too, though it's hard to tell from the photo's. The city, appart from a small tourist haven seems dirty and dangerous, the part the ship docked in anyway. It seems Brasil does not have ...

The wheels on the bus go round and round
OK after 4 days in Rio it was time to move on (seing as I´m going back there in August anyway) Tried not to do too much in Rio as I´ll be back to meet Katharine (Girlfriend) so a few runs down Copacabana and Ipamena where in order. Managed to go out ...
It´s a city with 2.5 Mio inhabitants
... an Eurocentric-view, you tend to underestimate the distances on this side of the globe. In my imaginary I would expect Salvador as a fairly small colonial city on the sea with kilometer of nice beaches and lively night scene ...
Parada numero 2 del crucero.
... 16h y estábamos de vuelta al crucero. Terminamos por almorzar 2 veces ya que la pasta de frijoles no nos lleno mucho. Conclusión de Salvador: A los 2 nos decepcionó un poco. La parte turística de la ciudad alta, a pesar de muy chica es linda, pero la ...

Receba a salvador Brazil!
The first thing I noticed is the smell of urine everywhere! We arrived on the last day of the world famous Carnaval. Salvador holds the Guinness record for largest party. I played it safe and stayed in the Pelourinho Square instead of the big party in the ...
Salvador in 21 Hours
We had a decent bus ride, and we are now in Salvador. Nothing particularily interesting about the ride, it was fairly standard. We cut in to the interior, again, which is a cool contrast. The interior is very arid, and not forested at all. It's largely ...
Bahia: Salvador & Chapada Diamantina

Salvador - Part II
Well today is my last day in Salvador and I~m absolutely gutted to be leaving. I´ve had such a great time, and whilst I still ´nao fala portugues´ it´s amazing how much you can understand after just a week. I can´t honestly say that I have seen all ...
Carnival in Salvador
The streets of Salvador are filling with chaos... People setting up vending stations along the streets, the blocos are being set up, and business and buildings are being boarded up like they are preparing for the Canucks to loose the finals again.. You ...
